Who wouldn’t agree, India is a very
colourful land. Every nook & corner has its own traditional heritage. From
Chikankari to Phulkari, from Bandhani to lehriya, there is a wide range to
choose from. The traditional is now becoming contemporary, the fashion sense is
evolving. Wearing Indian is no longer considered ‘bhenji’ style. Spotting the
fusion look has become an uber cool style statement not just in the world of
the celebrities but also among the youth of the country. You can often spot the
fusion style on the streets of the cities where resides the urban youth
population.
With a fresh flow of new designers, the
trends are changing. Indian fashion is now hitting the ramps abroad as well. A
fairly good number of international artists have been noticed sporting the much
talked about Indian fusion style. The
Indian fashion is highly appreciated overseas owing to the fact that it
highlights a lot of culture; hand-made work & embroidery makes the entire
experience of being dressed in the desi flavour even more exclusive. If its
Indian fashion, it has to involve a lot of colour which instantly makes one
feel vibrant.
Well, this fusion style can be considered
as an amalgamation of the two cultures. Another major reason behind the
increasing popularity of the fusion style is its comfort factor with a perfect
mix of style. There are no pre decided style guidelines in here so it lets the
wearer explore & experiment with the best possible fashion mix to an extent
where its comfortable & wearable both. The most popular fusion style you
would spot almost every day is the kurti on jeans or leggings combination.
Apart from these, you can make the Indian look very western with one piece
dresses made from brocade or Benarasi, perfect for any party. Indian style has most definitely made its
place in the international market with beading or embroidery on necklines of
dresses or shirts and more.
Stepping out dressed in indo-western fusion
is not a cake walk for everybody. But this indo-western fusion is no seeping
into the Bollywood. Be it Karina Kapoor’s salwar-tee style in Jab we met or
Konkana Sen Sharma in Wake up Sid, Bollyworld has whole heartedly accepted this
style. We’re sure you did not miss the
Bollywood blockbuster of this year, Khoobsurat starring the very handsome, uber
cool and stylish Fawad Khan from across the border. If you would have by any
chance got an opportunity to notice the very stylish Sonam Kapoor you’d
understand what we mean when we say fusion can make you feel so vibrant.
Sporting clothes which define the term colour blast, the style was highly
appreciated by the youth. With a mix of dhoti pants, short embroidered jackets,
very bright stoles and a perfect tinge of accessories brought the fusion look
in the lime light once again. Also, during the movie promotion on Comedy Nights
with Kapil, Sonam was seen wearing the saree in the fusion style.
So next time you want to get rid of your Indian wear, try and
experiment with various mix of clothes and wear them in an all new style. And
yes, Indian wear can be very stylish so don’t feel consious but flaunt it!
